"It's easier done than said."

"It's easier done than said." ~Ellie Drake

Thank you, Ellie for this affirmation and thank you Universe for the gift of the layers of deeper meaning. I see myself in this affirmation today and I understand how to apply this to my life. It's like looking in a mirror at the truth and then no longer being able to look away in denial of that facet of me.

What does it mean that I am discovering the secret of 'doing' on the heels of experiencing Oriah Mountain Dreamer's, The Call, inviting women to stop doing and 'rest'?

Where do I find balance between doing and rest?

I feel that the answer is perhaps that when purpose is applied as a recipe within the doing that I naturally do each day, the doing becomes effortless. When purpose is applied to rest, the quiet space created somehow assists with the actions required in the doing.

I feel that a big part of the secret to assisting my Self to grow in balance is related to the recipe or belief system that I choose to apply within the doing and the resting. I am open to expanding and empowering my collection of recipes by releasing those that do not nourish me and inviting those that do.

I am humbled and I am grateful,
with love and light,
Lisa

My Beautiful Sister Lisa,
Isn't it ironic how we get caught up in the busy... ness of this life...I remember you telling me how one of your favorite places was to sit under your wondrous holly tree where the true introspection of the world surrounded you....to be in the flow...that is where I remember you being inspired by all that was around you, and thus within you. Sometimes we just need to be...and allow ourselves to be all that is...
I miss you my friend, and it is great to hear from you.
Love You!
Darlene
Lisa,

Great comment.

What I really loved was your closing "I am humbled and I am grateful, with love and light," I really love this. Such simple words with very powerrful meaning.

Thank you

On a call recently with Mary Anne Radmacher, she was recounting something that came up in a radio interview - the idea that when we don’t know where we’re going, we often confuse motion with progress. I think this relates to the “balance between doing and rest.” Often we tend to push, push, push, try, try, try and hope we discover what fulfills us and we forget how enlightening rest, quiet contemplation, and introspection can be in guiding us. Growing in balance and engaging in what nourishes us are very powerful reminders. Thank you for sharing them.

Hello Lisa,

"Releasing" those recipes that no longer serve and nourish us is a powerful experience.

Thank you for sharing your inspiration....:-x
